Patient's question:
A man has white skin peeling off his penis and it's a bit itchy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely a symptom of balanitis. When treating balanitis with topical medications, it is important to pay attention to local hygiene. Wash the glans and foreskin daily, and if the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment. Circumcision may be necessary if needed. It is very important to clean the smegma promptly. Excessive foreskin is the main factor contributing to the onset and recurrence of balanitis. Wishing you good health.
